I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 991 - 991 992 Occupation_1

Chapter 991: Chapter 992: Occupation_1 Chapter 991: Chapter 992: Occupation_1 The ancient bronze giant had a several meters long wound on its chest, and this sword nearly split it in half. A large amount of blood, like molten bronze, sprayed out, and screams of agony echoed within the Temple of Earth Elementals.

Song Jian could feel the ancient bronze giant’s aura rapidly wither away at a visible speed, and it was even struggling to stand.

“Humans, you make an enemy of the giant race…” the ancient bronze giant howled, actually turning to flee. At that moment, a huge palm suddenly appeared above its head, filling nearly the entire temple hall. Before the ancient bronze giant could escape a few steps, the huge palm slammed down on it with lightning speed.

The ancient bronze giant let out a scream, but the scream was cut short as it was pressed into the temple floor.

Boom~

Like an earthquake, the entire temple began to shake violently. Song Jian, Tuya, and the soldiers behind him were all swept away by the blast of energy.

Struggling to his feet, Tuya looked at the violently shaking temple, his face filled with shock: “Gods, the temple isn’t going to collapse, is it?”

In this world, some buildings possess an indestructible nature, such as Dwarf Treasuries, Naga Treasuries, and various recruitment buildings and resource points in the wilderness.

These places can only be occupied and plundered, but it seems impossible to completely destroy them, as if they inherently possess a certain characteristic.

The Temple of Earth Elementals is likewise; it is not only a recruitment location for Earth Elemental warriors but also a promotion barracks to enhance the quality of Earth Elementals. Thus, it also possesses an indestructible nature. But now, Tuya began to doubt in his heart, perhaps it is indestructible simply because the force applied was not strong enough?

Fortunately, after a while, the violent shaking finally ceased. Apart from appearing more dilapidated, the temple did not collapse, which gave Tuya some relief. Otherwise, the collapse of such common-sense beliefs would have a significant impact on his entire worldview.

The two waited outside the temple for some time until the dust settled. At this point, the surfaces of the dozens of columns supporting the temple all showed significant cracks, and countless fragments of broken stone rolled randomly on the ground and steps. The temple in front of them was like a dangerous building on the verge of collapse.

“Shall we, shall we go in?” Tuya asked cautiously.

At this time, Song Jian’s brow was deeply furrowed. He could feel that the aura of the ancient bronze giant had vanished, but it had been killed only at the third stage of the Red Lotus Sword Array. As a level seven troop type, based on estimates, its strength was at most comparable to a Dominator level boss of the same level, yet the power it demonstrated far exceeded any Dominator level boss Song Jian had encountered before.

“This is only a level seven troop type, and in this world, there are levels eight, nine, and even ten troop types. If those Examinees find these stronger troop types, the chances of me passing the assessment might be…” After pondering in his heart for a while, Song Jian finally made a decision, which was to recruit the third hero as soon as possible and then initiate combat mode.

“The tavern will be built by today, and there is a certain probability that wandering heroes will appear in the tavern. At that time, I will just recruit one and initiate combat mode as soon as possible.” Song Jian thought to himself.

With Song Jian’s strength, low-level troop types are not a concern, regardless of their numbers. However, high-level troop types like the ancient bronze giant would pose a significant problem if they appeared.

Song Jian and Tuya entered the temple and found, to their astonishment, that the ancient bronze giant had not yet died. Lying face-up in a huge palm print on the temple floor, the ancient bronze giant stared intently at Song Jian and said in a weak voice, “The giant race will not let you go…”

“Not dead yet?” A look of surprise appeared on Song Jian’s face. The third stage of the Red Lotus Sword Array could inflict millions of points of damage. How much health could this level seven troop type possibly have to be so difficult to kill?

However, judging by its appearance, it seemed to have lost the ability to continue fighting, and death was only a matter of time.

Just as Song Jian was about to speak, a crisp cracking sound suddenly erupted from the body of the bronze giant. Then, the sword wound on its chest left by the Red Lotus Sword rapidly extended to both sides, with innumerable cracks spreading out from the mark. In no time at all, the cracks covered the body of the bronze giant like a spider web.

Boom~

With a muffled sound, the body of the bronze giant crumbled to pieces, turning into fist-sized fragments that nearly covered the entire palm print.

“It’s finally dead,” Song Jian let out a breath of relief. At that moment, a vast amount of experience rushed toward him and Tuya.

Tuya surged up three levels, becoming a level 35 hero, while Song Jian’s experience bar also shot forward a small length, a good 10% worth of experience.

“How can it be so much?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised, looking at the remains of the bronze giant with complicated eyes. He knew, previously, when he had destroyed an entire City of the Undead and killed countless undead guards, he hadn’t gained much experience. But now, just by killing a level seven troop, he had gained such an enormous amount of experience, which he found quite odd.

“The rules of this world seem to be slowly changing,” Song Jian thought to himself.

At that moment, a grand voice echoed within the hall.

“The human faction has occupied an Earth Elemental Shrine. Three Earth Elementals can be recruited here daily, and with a certain cost of resources, Earth Elementals can be advanced into the more powerful Stone Elementals!”

This was a world announcement, visible to heroes of all factions. It was also a direct way to increase a lord’s prestige. Sometimes such announcements could attract many powerful heroes to join one’s cause.

Tuya was already impatient to recruit Earth Elementals. With Song Jian’s permission, Tuya hurried into the depths of the shrine. In a short while, Tuya’s excited laughter could be heard from within.

“Hahaha, there are actually more than thirty Earth Elementals and over a dozen Stone Elementals here, this is great, to have accumulated so many troops…”

Before long, Tuya emerged, leading a large group of Earth and Stone Elementals with high spirits, holding in his hand a scroll that emitted tri-colored radiance.

Song Jian’s eyes brightened, the scroll radiated a quality of light, indicating it was a divine scroll of a higher quality than even legendary scrolls.

“If I use it to enhance the level of the Thousand Swords Art, perhaps one scroll could increase it by a whole level!” Song Jian couldn’t help but get excited.
